Yes I also support new globalization of sustainable development. Gender equality must be practised by everyone. Why should women be discriminated? Everyone must accept that she is as important as man. Without her men's race could not survive. According to http://www.legisocial.fr/conventions-collectives-nationales everybody should respect her and stop decriminalizing women s and girls. Read more

Women are as important as men for the human race to survive; just as the heart is as important as the brain for the human body to survive. But that does not necessarily mean that the brain and heart are equal, and that they can do each other's jobs. They will be healthy and efficient if they stay in their own places & do the jobs they were designed for. It is stupid for the heart to complain that the head steals all the attention doing nothing but sitting pretty on the shoulders, while she (the heart) does not get any attenton cos nobody sees her working tirelessly 24/7 pumping blood reliably to feed nutrients and clean the whole body body of toxins. The feet can complain that they are carrying all the weight of the body in dirt, & sharp stones, but not getting the same attention as the head which dies nothing.Women have a very important role to play in ensuring the survival of the human race; at home, nurturing man's offspring, in their womb, and later, by suckling, feeding& cleaning, for which they are specifically designed. By their ignoring their maternal for chasing their selfish greed for money, drugs, alcohol, sex & boyfriends, they are ruining their societies, and turning their offspings into woman -haters and rapists.

Your very own IMF no matter where it goes to, harms women by making them unemployed, victims of exploitation and forces them to leave school. What r u going to do about it'? Now you want to include women. What for? Don't tell me you have "tasks" for them. Read more

Ban religions,stop brainwashing people in the hope you will have control over them ,and all problems will be solved.This situation is a product of the corrupt,unethical and hypocritical suggestions made for decades to people through mediums that reached the poor and hungry,those less fortunate.The problems start when some want to control others.Want to have more than others(greed).These are the factors that made this possible.These are the things we should eradicate.Hypocritical politicians who pay their way into power,helped by corporations and serving their interests and only theirs.Solution is simple,but simple things tend to not have added value!!!!...If we d spoken openly as humans,and demanded equal sharing of the wealth of the world,all problems would go away.Women today are pushing this Professionalism line,as if this will make the ethos of our society different,by creating more vultures who just want to eat each other for a place in the rich mans table...no thank you !!this is preparing the next slave generation.If we really cared for women ,we d unite and help them take what they deserve,their equality.their rights as humans.and we d do the same for the poor,the men slaves,the men labourers in qatar ,or saudi,USA or germany,who get peanuts to serve those who own 80% of worlds wealth.Women have nothing to gain by supporting this kind of "liberation".structured to create more professional slaves for the markets.....thats equality in slavery...no thank you As for earth,well ,slaves will dig the earth to get out the gold for the rich ,the diamonds,or whatever the rich value ,and pay for good money(peanuts from their vast stolen wealth).earth suffers from the wealthy markets,from the welathy industrialists who dont vcare for nothing buit profit.As for those chinese rich who build "eco-cities" for employees,well,slave and in a box,what more can you want women?..:(:( Read more

For this developed countries have to understand their responsibilities under Common But Differentiated Responsibilities principle and have to provide access of technology to the developing countries. Developing countries, similarly, have to understand their responsibility and needs to incorporate strong climate change related provisions in their National Targets. A holistic approach to the problem could (perhaps !) help the issue from being escalated and to deal with it in a comprehensive manner. Read more
